A sight to behold and a space to adore, this stunning circa-1906 3 bedroom, 2, bathroom Federation-style home on a 759sqm block has been impressively renovated for modern living.
An electric driveway gate secures the double carport, while a gorgeous wraparound bull-nose veranda deck splendidly overlooks the entry courtyard and the main pedestrian gate.
Soaring high ceilings, solid Jarrah wooden floorboards, decorative cornices, feature skirting boards and other character trimmings greet you immediately upon stepping foot inside this charming home.
Close to the front door you will find a quiet formal sitting room, looking out to front veranda and gardens. With a fireplace and lush carpet, it's the idea space for a private chat or some quite time to decompress.
There is also a dedicated study off the main passageway. A perfect work-space with its built-in desk and extra storage options.
The ground floor is also home to two large bedrooms, each with their own warming fireplaces, and complemented by a quality bathroom that has been impeccably renovated to include a toilet, shower and free-standing bathtub for those long evening soaks.
Further into the home you will note a distinct French-country feel to the open-plan family, dining and kitchen area. This is the hub of the home where most of your casual time will be spent.
The brand new kitchen itself is headlined by sparkling stone bench tops and splashbacks, double Shaws sinks, stylish tap fittings, high-end appliances - including a stainless-steel Miele dishwasher and oven - and easy access into the adjacent laundry.
Two sets of gorgeous double French doors extend living into a brand new fully-enclosed conservatory that becomes another living zone with its own air-conditioner, ceiling fan, audio speakers and views out to a shimmering below-ground swimming pool through matching French windows.
The grounds have been completely re-landscaped by renown international landscape designer Paul Bangay. The rear courtyard is more than spacious, offering a private outdoor entertaining and seating area by the pool, complemented by feature garden lighting and a lovely side pond with a trickling, mood-setting, water feature.
Upstairs, the main bedroom suite is both spacious and sumptuous. Richly carpeted and with a band new ensuite bathroom fit for royalty, complimented by a spacious walk in dressing room and private east facing balcony giving a delightful tree-lined vista across to Claremont Park.
Just a short walk to the world-class Claremont Quarter food and shopping precinct and only minutes to Claremont Yacht Club and our picturesque Swan River lies, this location provides convenience in a prestigious setting.
Bus stops, Claremont Bowling Club, Freshwater Bay Primary School and Christ Church Grammar School are all only walking distance from your front doorstep, with Methodist Ladies' College, Scotch College and Claremont Train Station also nearby.
A few minutes further, you will find medical facilities, the University of Western Australia, Fremantle and our vibrant Perth.
Set on the high side of the street, this elegant, meticulously upgraded and modernised family home is now the perfect blend of federation character with modern amenity. We invite your inspection.
